“New” was the word of the year in 2018! See what we added!
As our world becomes more connected and mobile, we understand our agents need access to tools from the road. In 2018, we beefed up our online offerings from our Senior Market Quote Engine to Online Contracting to multiple Lead Programs and more!
New Medicare Advantage Carriers
We added several Medicare Advantage Carriers this year so our agents will always have the best options for their clients at their fingertips. A great portfolio is a broad portfolio. See who we added…
The more we grow, the better we can service our agents. In 2018, we added four new staff members and created a new department dedicated to broker support. Read more here…

- Product and Market Questions
- and Much, Much More…
Caryn Contois, Director of Broker Relations
Caryn Contois has over 15 years at GarityAdvantage under her belt, over half of those as the New Business Manager. She is excited to move into this new role and has many innovative ideas to implement that will streamline the service they bring to you. Expect a lot of fantastic improvements to come your way!
Caryn would argue that there’s no downtime during AEP, but when she does catch a break, she spends much of her free time with her close knit family including 6 nieces and nephews and her beloved American Bulldog, Ginger.
Something you may not know about Caryn:
She’s a trained pastry chef and once worked for Steven Tyler of Aerosmith!
Caryn’s Words to Live By: “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things”
Caryn’s Secret Weapon: Problem Solving
Christina Comerford, Broker Support Liaison
Christina Comerford joined GarityAdvantage at our MA office in September, 2011. She began as a temp in the enrollment department, but we quickly realized we needed her exemplary service skills full-time! Originally from Holbrook, MA, Christina says it’s the type of small town where, “you can’t go to any convenient store, pizza shop, or gas station without seeing someone you grew up with.”
You Are the Most Rewarding Part of Her Job: “The most rewarding part about my job is the relationships and trust I have built with the agents I work with. I have been lucky enough to work with a diverse and pleasant group, and the positive feedback I receive from them is what makes my days a little bit brighter!”
Christina’s “free-time” is very busy raising young children with her husband. They love the beach and ocean in the summer and hunkering down with good books in the winter.
How Christina Defines Success: Success is achieving self set goals. This can take days, months, or years, but as long as you’re striving to be better than yesterday, every day can be a success in its own.
Maggie Pollard, Broker Support Liaison
Maggie Pollard joined GarityAdvantage at our CT Office in October, 2016. Any broker that has stepped through our CT doors has likely interacted with her positive attitude and upbeat way of tackling brokers’ day-to-day requests.
It’s no wonder that her definition of success is, “knowing that what you are doing is helping you and others lead a better, happier, healthier life.”
She also stays healthy in her free time by hiking and is looking forward to someday taking a road trip across the U.S.A.
Maggie’s Secret Weapon: Attention to Detail
Maggie’s Words to Live By: “Until you change your thinking, you will always recycle your experiences.”
Cassandra Lamb, Broker Support Liaison
Cassandra Lamb joined the GarityAdvantage at our CT Office in May, 2018, and originally hails from Bronx, NY.
Although Cassandra is relatively new to our team, she fit in immediately and has shown herself to be reliable and steady as a rock when we hit our busy seasons. She says she stays so even keeled because she “rarely takes work home” with her. Cassandra also says the most rewarding part of her job is, “being able to assist the agents with any and all needs.”
Most Interesting Job She’s Ever Had: “Most interesting was running a day care. You don’t know what you are made of until you have 30 screaming toddlers following you around!”
Cassandra’s Words to Live By: I woke up this morning, my kids are healthy and we have food. Anything outside of that doesn’t matter much. Be thankful.

Bob Mager joins GarityAdvantage
NMO GarityAdvantage Agencies Welcomes Medicare Insurance Veteran Bob Mager as Director of Sales for Southeastern States
New Hire Continues Local Market Expansion Plans into Georgia and Southeast
Atlanta, GA, September 4, 2018 – National Marketing Organization GarityAdvantage Agencies announced and welcomed Bob Mager of Cumming, GA as Director of Sales for the Southeast in charge of expanding Garity’s unique hands-on agent service model to independent insurance agents focused on Medicare and the Senior Market in Georgia and throughout the region.
With well over a decade of broker sales, support and service experience for several national Medicare carriers, Mager is uniquely positioned to provide independent insurance agents in the region with the product insight and market knowledge they will need to be successful in the senior marketplace. Mager said, “Joining the Garity team is an exciting opportunity for me. Especially now, as we ramp up for AEP. I love what I do, and believe that we have the resources to make an impact with agents, providing them with the type of support they truly deserve.”
GarityAdvantage represents major carriers in the Medicare Advantage market including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, UHC and Wellcare plus the newest entrant in the region, Eon Healthcare. Additionally, the firm provides a wide portfolio of ancillary products in the senior market such as Medicare supplements, PDPs, hospital indemnity, dental and final expense. Mager will be charged with recruiting, training and supporting motivated independent insurance agents to contract with the carriers GarityAdvantage represents and help them drive senior market sales.
This important team expansion, along with last year’s addition of Mike Harris of Alpharetta, GA as Vice President of National Sales, solidifies GarityAdvantage’s commitment to brokers in Georgia and the Southeast. GarityAdvantage President Brian Garity expressed confidence that Mager is ready to take on this challenging role, saying: “The hiring of Bob corresponds with our company’s business growth strategy to deliver Medicare expertise through a high-touch, local service model to producers in Georgia and throughout the southeastern United States region. The fact that we have two seasoned industry veterans in Bob and Mike leading the charge sends a clear message to agents that we are here to help you succeed.”
